    Weak Balance Sheet

    STN's financial position is not ideal. The key is to check whether STN is using debt to fuel its growth and the sustainability of that tendency. Highly capital intensive businesses (see Economic Moat) follow this route, which can deeply impact the future prospects of the business.
